Wakefield Trinity stun Wigan Warriors to reach Super League Grand Final

Remarkable rise from second tier

The club was playing in the second division just two years ago before this victory. Local businessman Matt Ellis took over the team in late 2023 and invested millions into the squad. He has also modernised their home ground at Belle Vue since taking control.

Match details and final score

Wakefield scored five tries while Wigan managed only one try during the contest. The visitors built a thirty-six point lead before conceding two points late in the game. Over 5,000 travelling supporters attended the match to cheer on their team.

Next opponent at Old Trafford

The winners will travel to Old Trafford next Saturday for the championship decider. Their semi-final victory ensures a new name appears on the Super League trophy this season. Warrington Wolves are the only team left standing in the competition.
